Even if you are not a Routemaster fan (I'm not!) it should be a good day if you are in the area. These are provisional plans so check before making a special trip!
20 Sundays - Is that specifically the Barbican/Hoe leg of the 20? That should be interesting to hear, though the reinstation of the early morning school/work run would probably be more practical. Good to see that Plymouth City Council are opening up to users of the services though.
